Chapter 743: An Unexpected Viral Hit!

"I never imagined that a National-level Poverty-stricken County could hide such a massive 'moth,' it's truly shocking!"

"Must give a like to the Dayu County Government! Only by having zero tolerance for such corrupt behavior can a clean and upright social atmosphere truly be created."

"After learning the story of Teacher Jin Chunping from Dayu Women's High School and the rural teacher Wu Chunming, I feel especially moved!"

Tang Ye sat in his office, reading the comments below the news one by one, his inner emotions complex.

He hadn't expected that the Education System Warning Meeting held by Dayu County would stir up such a huge response on the internet.

Netizens showed a keen interest in this special event in Dayu County.

One must know, in the past, when facing corruption issues, the government often covered things up.

Fearing that once the outside world knew, it would damage their own image and credibility.

But this Dayu County did not hide or tuck things away, and even held a "Corrupt Goods Exhibition."

At first glance, this move looked like "self-destruction."

However, by actively responding to public opinion with a posture of facing problems head-on,

this open and pragmatic attitude won the favor and approval of netizens!

His original intention in pushing for this warning meeting was to use this action to properly rectify the unhealthy atmosphere in the Dayu County education system and even the government affairs sector.

But he never imagined that after such an operation,

the three characters "Dayu County" would charge straight to the headlines of major websites.

To be honest, it is really hard to generalize the pros and cons of this unexpected "going viral."

If one encounters open-minded superiors, they might think Dayu County is daring and has the drive to get things done;

however, if one runs into conservative and cautious leaders, they might think Dayu County is acting rashly and "loves to show off."

The office landline suddenly rang, and Tang Ye picked up the receiver to answer.

"Secretary Ou, do you have any instructions?"

Tang Ye prayed in his heart, hoping it wasn't someone calling to blast him!

Ou Xiye's tone was exceptionally relaxed.

"I just received a call from Secretary Liu of the Municipal Party Committee. He gave high praise to our county's anti-corruption and integrity promotion exhibition in the education system this time and asked me to go to the city on Friday to give a special report. You were right before; sometimes, when doing things, one must have the courage to face the pain points directly!"

Tang Ye was slightly stunned upon hearing this; had he said such things before?

However, he could tell from Ou Xiye's tone.

He was clearly satisfied with the move Tang Ye had made to break the deadlock.

In fact, when pushing this plan initially, Tang Ye's biggest concern was fearing it would affect the trust he and Ou Xiye had worked so hard to build.

Facts proved that Dayu County's bold and resolute attitude in rectifying the atmosphere was gratifying to the people and had also gained the attention of superiors!

Sure enough, taking a risky move can lead to an unexpected victory!

Sometimes, one still needs to take an unconventional path!

"Secretary Liu has always been very concerned about the development of Dayu County. When you go to the city to report, Secretary Ou, you might as well find an opportunity to chat more with Secretary Liu in private.

I have sorted out a few preliminary ideas regarding regional development here.

If it's convenient, could you see if you can bring them up when you are in the city?

To see if we can get support from the city!"

"Good, if you are free now, then come to my office and sit for a while, let's have a chat."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Ye pulled his thoughts and plans for the future development of Dayu County from his computer, printed them out, and bound them.

He had actually been brewing these ideas for a long time, but just hadn't found the right timing to bring them out.

Throwing them out too early would easily make others feel he was eager to "show off" right after taking office, which would instead cause resentment.

After tidying up the materials, Tang Ye walked straight into Ou Xiye's office.

Seeing him enter, Ou Xiye took the initiative to stand up, drew a cup of hot tea from the water dispenser, and handed it over: "Come, have a cup of tea first!"

"Thank you, Secretary Ou!"

Tang Ye took the teacup.

Immediately, he gently pushed the printed materials to Ou Xiye's side.

Ou Xiye put on his reading glasses and lowered his head to read carefully.

After looking for only a few minutes, he could see Tang Ye's professional foundation and pragmatic thinking.

Tang Ye being able to be promoted to Deputy Division Level at thirty was definitely not relying on luck, but on solid ability.

"With this material of yours, I will have more confidence when I report my work to Secretary Liu."

Ou Xiye's words hid a very high level of approval for Tang Ye.

Tang Ye hurriedly smiled modestly: "I haven't been in Dayu County for long, so my understanding of the county's situation is certainly far less thorough than yours. If there is anything in this material that is not well-considered or needs adjustment, please point it out, and I will go back and revise it."

Ou Xiye waved his hand lightly and said with a smile: "No need to revise, this is already very good!"

Tang Ye had spent quite a bit of effort to discipline Chen Dongan.

On one hand, it was because Chen Dongan had used his position to amass wealth on a large scale, becoming a "stumbling block" to his promotion of poverty alleviation work and optimization of fiscal fund investment, so he had to be removed;

on the other hand, he also hoped to use this case to break the long-standing atmosphere of laziness and procrastination in the Dayu County government affairs system and activate everyone's drive to work and start businesses.

The biggest unexpected gain was that after this fight side-by-side, the distance with Ou Xiye had clearly narrowed.

Maintaining a good collaborative relationship with the "top leader" was undoubtedly beneficial and harmless for him to smoothly carry out various tasks in the future.

Ou Xiye's attitude toward him was quietly changing.

At first, he remained cautious and observant toward Tang Ye.

Slowly, he began to appreciate Tang Ye.

Now, he had the intention to cultivate Tang Ye as his right-hand man.

Seeing that Ou Xiye was in a good mood, Tang Ye probed softly.

"Secretary Ou, the Education System Warning Meeting and the Model Standard-Bearer Selection have concluded, but I still have some immature thoughts regarding the reform of the education system!"

"Let's hear them!"

Tang Ye said, "From a fiscal perspective, education investment has always been a major expense for Dayu County. Reorganizing the fiscal expenditures of Dayu County's education system will help make the county's fiscal spending more rational!"

Ou Xiye nodded slightly, "I have also noticed this! You may elaborate further!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Tang Ye laid out his thoughts on salary reform in full.

"First, we must conduct an assessment and screening of the teaching staff.

Many schools have a situation where teacher resources are wasted; some schools have fewer than six classes of students, yet they have thirty or forty teachers.

Some schools have one teacher teaching several grade levels, which results in an irrational allocation of resources.

There must be a flow of teaching staff between schools, dispersing the surplus teachers to schools with more students.

Secondly, we must re-verify the salary system for teachers and incorporate a performance appraisal mechanism.

We should not only look at a teacher's years of service, professional title, and position level, but also at the teacher's actual ability and contribution.

Finally, we should focus on cultivating young teachers, increase exchanges with the outside world, and give young teachers more opportunities..."

A look of gravity appeared in Ou Xiye's eyes.

"This is interesting! How about this: I will take your ideas to this week's Standing Committee meeting for discussion!"
